What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Truck looks awesome! Diggin the avatar as well.

 

VERY Loud (there are three of these monster horns)...half the reason I put sound deadening in the cab!

 

Got a new fiberglass tonneau on my 2020 SR today. (Also my 74th Birthday!!!!!)

 

That’s awesome! Happy birthday to you Sir!

 

I had cheap thin gauge brackets for my ditch lights. I ended up removing them because they constantly bounced while driving. I’m just saying. If that’ll bother you, you might want a thicker gauge (more expensive) bracket. Hell, maybe you’ll get lucky and get a well built and cheap bracket

 

Happy Birthday!!

 

So I got pretty lucky on this truck (2017). It was origianlly built as a demo truck for (I'm guessing) either a photo shoot or a distributor display/demo. Lot's of bolt on goodies, all high end (Rigid led, etc) ...but NONE of it installed for off road rigor, ie all the electrical was home run to the battery with 8 in line fuses etc...just to make it functional. I've gutted all that and done it right.

The train horn/compressor is next. (unless I keep discovering NEW projects on this forum...there have been a bunch!) I bought a full sized spare (KO2's on 20" rim) that is in the bed for now (it may stay there). Yes the horns, aux air tank, and compressor compromise thw spare area, but I think there are several options to develop.

 

Got a gapplebees sticker for the garage.

 

My personalized plates arrived today

 

In the herd, we have 3-Black, 1-Solid White, 2-Silver, 2-Brindle, and 1-Fawn.
Plus a few Puggle Weeds we vacuum off the floor every week. LOLOL.

 

You share yours I’ll share mine ​

 

Well after 5 wks I finally got the truck out of the tangled mess of steel tubing.

 

mine says gaplbee

 

Tested out my strobe module in prep for my harnesses to integrate them into my truck. There are like 24 different strobe patterns, but its hard to tell with only one light going. My harnesses should be here in a few days. Im stoked!

The videos dont show it great because some of the flashes are faster than my camera can see them.

 

I used a spade bit and drilled into the back top of the bed and fed the tubes between the cab and bed. Super clean look

 

Sheesh! Can only imagine the dust bunnies look like!! I have a black and a fawn male pugs. My 11 year old just developed seizures. Monday was our “what is going on with utley” :-/ hope the medicine will help. 2nd day on the meds and he seems a lot better. Almost like his anxiety pushes him into the seizure state. He’s been a super dog and is a daddy baby

the black one is 6, bear is his name. He always acts like the puppy of the family, ALL the time!! He’s a great dog
As well and they both have their own personality.

 

Light scratches will buff out, just got set buff kit on Amazon for 7bucks.

 

Great looking truck!

 

Nice to meet someone else who enjoys Pugs. We have had many (sadly) come and go in our lives. The seizures are hard to cope with. We had a black Runt Female, up there in age. She started having seizures. At the strangest times, she would be on her belly, with arms and legs hard left and hard right. She shook so violently. It was sad times, rough for her. We eventually had to say goodbye, for her.

Pugs are GREAT companions. They aim to please, and want to learn.
Ours, they get into brawls. Serious BRAWLS, where my wife will not reach into the ball of teeth to break them up. I don't blame her.
Many times (and this may sound crazy) I have had to play Alpha Male. I literally have bitten them back, to get some to settle.
They're like little kids I tell ya. All different personalities, all wanting attention when one gets some. When I pet one, another is "expecting" their fair share.
Pugs like to lick. Ours lick us sloppy if we let them. It's their way of bonding.
All ours are AKC Registered and papered.

Hopefully the meds help utley. They need, like we need. Part of the responsibility of having pets.
Most of ours rally around me for the attention. I get on the floor in their space to play with them.
Can you imagine, laying on the floor, face down, to be groped by 9 of them? LOLOLOL.
They're fun. Especially since our real kids grew up and moved out.

You should see them all, when I tell them it's goodie time.
9 dogs, 18 eyes, sitting, waiting, about to bite the others, due to high anxiety.
Ours are also our guards of the castle. Not much get by them!!!
